Health Tips
Is the air in your home making
your family sick?
Respiratory-related illnesses such as
asthma are on the rise. We spend an
average of 90% of our time inside; and
the air indoors contains many substances
that may be hazardous to our health.
These pollutants range from minor irritants
such as dust and animal dander, to
major concerns like moulds and chemical
vapours that may come from building
materials and furnishings.
With our innovative and portable air quality
monitor, your home’s air is scientifically
analyzed, and a detailed 100% accurate
report is issued including suggestions for
corrective measures.
The test is fast and easy and you will have
your results in 72 hours. This is a small
investment in the health of your family and
home environment, and the benefits have
an immediate payoff.
Call us today to book your appointment.
Breathe easier while travelling
While planning your trek to your next sunny climate, take into
consideration those places and establishments catering to nonsmokers.Travellers
to Canada and the U.S.will find many smoke-free
hotels, restaurants and airports, however not all countries have the
same clear-air rules.When booking your tour inquire about city and
hotel smoking policies. Upon check-in, ask to see your room and
check that it really is smoke-free before signing (a quick sniff should
do the trick) and ask for non-smoking transportation and restaurants.
Breathe easy and travel well.
